Let the waters rise
wash this town into the sea
Let the waters rise
and find my lover where she sleeps
cause i don't know where she is or what company she keeps
all i know is where she should be
so let the waters rise
and bring her home to me
Let the waters rise
I'm too tired now for searching
Let the waters rise
and hide the tears i cried for that woman
coz it just isn't fair that she's out there havin' fun
when I'm stuck here and having none
so let the waters rise
bring me my only one
and I've been on my own sitting in my window
waiting by the phone for you to call
and every time a wind blows i hear the subtle tone
of your laughter echo through the hall
Let the waters rise
set this lonesome heart adrift
Let the waters rise
may they be cold and swift
